a piece of mind

as i gather my thoughts and prepare my content to share on sunday's sesion topic being 'morality', one question has been occupying my entire mind. 'what exactly makes human life valuable?' hhmm...

is it determined by the quality of life we live? or how smart we are? or how popular we are? or how much we can contribute to society? or perhaps... is it because we as human beings have inherent value invested in us by our creator, god who has loved us with an everlasting love that can never be diminished...?

take law and religion out of the picture, and tell me why it would be morally wrong for me to kill you. what would your response be?
